Use hardware security keys for two-factor authentication and encrypt sensitive files. Regularly review account statements for unusual activity. Employ a password manager to create and store complex passwords. Avoid public Wi-Fi for financial transactions and consider using a Virtual Private Network (VPN). Keep software and devices updated to prevent vulnerabilities.
